On Saturday I took a mental health break from this apartment and attended "1812 At The Fort": an annual event at Fort Henry put on by the Kingston Symphony. The name comes from the final piece: the 1812 Overture accompanied by cannons and fireworks. It was a treat and a great night for it: thunderstorms threatening but not interfering with the performance.
A surprising addition to the program was a performance by Ryan Malcolm and his brother (can't recall his name). They did a wonderful a cappella rendition of The Sounds Of Silence. I couldn't resist quietly singing along.
This has long been a favourite of mine. It was the first recording I ever purchased way back when it first came out. The first line very nicely sums up my world at the moment and has been stuck in my head ever since the performance.
The move to Ottawa is getting underway this weekend. My children and other wonderful people who know them and myself have offered help to lighten that load.
I'll be back after the move, hopefully with a new theme song.
